IN the seasons millinery capotes still

A love of a bonnet | recently OBJ
served was in wire-net-a small, snug
capote shape-and the net was COM
pletely enveloped and concealed 10y Il
close, smooth covering of forget-me-
nots, intermingled here and there with
green leaves. Nothing could be ina
ginod sweeter or fresher in appearance
than this sylvan crown, and It's sim
plicity indicated, moreover, that its
expense had been but slight.
Very charming and becoming are the
| fresh seaside dresses Of white vigogne
which now appear within the wardrObes
of those of our belleswho contemplate
a seward flight to Newport or Bar
HaIbor. These costumes are made
quite simply, the bodices having mar
row vests of blue woollen material, and
the skirts being tastefully trimmed with
parallel rows of broad blue braid. Some
of them are trimmed with gold braid
instead of blue, when their wearers be-
come invested with the Austrian colOrs,
and a very pretty combination they
| make.
Jaunty little round sailor caps accom-
pany the dresses, and these toilets, COM
bined with background of blue sea
and middle distance of dazzling
sand, will certainly render the young
ladies wearing them most fascinating.
Summer tailor-made dresses in plain
and hair-line wOollens are made, if
anything, on rather more graceful mo-
dels than ever before. Such n dress is
made with a plain, round skirt, over
which heavily-draped apron, brought
high on the hips, falls, the back drape-
ry forming a part of the same goods
and falling but a short distance, the
bottom of the skirt being over foot
beneath. The basque is made to but
ton down the front, and is frequently
double breasted. {. II. VI.
